greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStoke.com.

Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Sirete and we are the hosts of a Redhanded, a weekly true crime podcast.

Every week on Redhanded, we get stuck into the most talked about cases, from the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Shorthand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.

Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behavior. Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist?

Listen to Redhanded wherever you get your podcast, so access our bonus shorthand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

Hey, I'm Cassie Depegel, the host of Wondries Against the Odds. In our next season, Amelia Earhart wants to make history by flying across the Atlantic alone, but brutal weather and malfunctioning equipment could leave her lost its sea.

Listen to Against the Odds on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey there, it's Ryan Holiday. I am sitting here in the new daily stoic offices. I don't want to spoil that too much as a bunch is coming related to that.

But we are in the process of setting up our new office. My desk is here. And one of the first things I put at the desk, I'm staring at it right now, is a small bust I have.

Of Marcus Aurelias, it was, I think I bought this right before I started writing the obstacles away. It was made in 1820 out of Carrera, Marable. And when I sort of sit and write, it kind of catches my eye.

And one of the things I like to think about it is that somebody made this 200 years ago, and I think about whose desk it's probably sat on or, you know, somewhere in someone's house that it sat, what it meant to them.

How many generations of people 200 years is. And at the same time, how instantaneous that is. And actually as I was sitting here thinking I was going to talk to you guys about this, I, I looked up an email that we'd written when I first started the daily stoic daily email.

And it turned out I wrote this in October 2016. So four years have passed, even since then, like when I was writing it, I was like, you know, 1820, that's almost 200 years. But even, you know, four years have passed since then.

And at the time is this sort of force that's like, you know, tick, ticking away. And yet these sort of certain ideas or examples or people kind of stand eternal. And I think to me, that's why I have it on my desk. That's what I love about it. That's why it's sort of served as good inspiration for the writing.

And there's a passage from Matthew Arnold that I really love. We've used it a bunch of times. But he says long after his death, his bust, Marcus Reelis was to be seen in the houses of private men through the wide Roman Empire.

It may be the vulgar part of human nature, which busy itself, the semblance and doings of living sovereigns. It is the nobler part, which busy itself with those of the dead, these busts of Marcus Reelis in the homes of Gaul, Britain, and Italy, bear witness, not to the intimate frivolous curiosity about princes and palaces, but to their reverential memory of the passage of a great man upon the earth. And when I look at that small bust of Marcus Reelis, I try to make sure that

my actions honor his memory. I try to think that I want the writing that I do to live up to that example. And yeah, this is just this sort of timeless, still practice, the importance of finding examples or exemplars as Santa, because of choosing yourself a Kato and then displaying their presence in the places that you frequent. And so actually behind this little one, the one I have is maybe about four inches tall. I also have a much, much larger bust.
